(rock'n'roll music plays)

In an animated frame, fast clip shows images of different animals: horses, llamas, pandas rolling down a ladder, a dog jumping for a treat, cats skateboarding, giraffes fighting one another and a snake lurking on the forest floor.

A song plays that says HUSTLE AROUND WITH THE
PONDERING PANDAS
TEACHING A DOG TRICKS
DISCOVERING ANSWERS
WE LOVE OUR CRAZY CRITTERS
WE LOOK TO FIND OUT
WHAT THEY DO
IT'S CREATURE MANIA
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

The name of the show appears in yellow animal print letters on an orange background. It reads "Creature Mania."

Alfie walks in his bamboo tree house.

Alfie is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears eggshell trousers and a black T-shirt with white rims.

He says HEY, HEY CREATURE MANIACS
WELCOME TO THE SHOW THAT'S ALL
ABOUT OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS
AND COMPLETELY CREATURE CRAZY.
IT'S CREATURE MANIA.
TODAY WE'LL BE MEETING
SOME KOOKY, CREEPY
AND OUTRIGHT CRAZY ANIMALS.

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie says WE CHECK OUT THE WEIRD
DEFENCES OF THE LIMPET,
HANG OUT WITH SOME ORANGUTANS
AND CHECK OUT A MOTHER
OF A SPIDER,
THE NURSERY WEB SPIDER.
WE HAVE A LAUGH
WITH PANDA AND PONY,
AND MEET LEVI AND HIS
KITTY-CAT IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS LOTS, LOTS MORE.
WE HAVE A JAM PACKED
SHOW FOR YOU TODAY.
I CAN'T WAIT.
BUT ON THE LIST
IT'S TIME TO HEAD OVER
TO SEE DR. KATRINA
AND FIND OUT WHO SHE HAS COMING
ALONG TO DO SOME TRAINING.
IT'S TIME FOR DOG TRICKS.

A caption reads "Dog Tricks."

Doctor Katrina is in her thirties, with long straight brown hair and wears jeans and a hot pink Creature Mania T-shirt.

She sits on the grass with 4 brown and white dogs and says HI AND WELCOME TO DOG TRICKS.
I'M DR. KATRINA
AND THESE ARE THE BEAUTIFUL,
TALENTED WONDER DOGS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO STAY.
TRICK'S GOING TO SHOW US
HOW IT'S DONE.
LET'S LEARN A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT TRICK FIRST.
MEET TRICK,
HE'S FIVE YEARS OLD.
HIS NICKNAMES ARE
TRICKY AND THE TRICKSTER.
TRICK IS AN AGILITY CHAMPION.
HE DID HIS FIRST STAGE SHOW WHEN
HE WAS JUST EIGHT WEEKS OLD
AND HE HAS NOT STOPPED
PERFORMING SINCE.
HIS FAVOURITE TRICKS INCLUDE
FETCHING THINGS TO PUT AWAY,
RUNNING IN CIRCLES
AND PLAYING DEAD.

Clips show the dog doing its favourite activities.

Katrina says HE'S DEFINITELY THE FUN LOVING
CRAZY ONE WHO RARELY SITS STILL.
HIS PET HATES: NOT
BEING ALLOWED TO RUN.
NAUGHTIEST DEED: HE'S
ALWAYS STIRRING UP THE OTHERS.
FAVOURITE TREAT IS SAUSAGE.
THREE WORDS TO
DESCRIBE TRICK:
NAUGHTY, ACTIVE AND PLAYFUL.
OKAY LET'S SEE
TRICK DEMONSTRATE.

A caption reads "Learn to stay."

Trick does a trick and Katrina gives him a treat as she says DROP.
STAY.
STAY IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS
YOU SHOULD TEACH YOUR DOG
FOR THEIR SAFETY.
IT GIVES YOU CONTROL
IN ALL SITUATIONS.
STAY.
GOOD BOY.
WELL NOW WE'VE SEEN
AN EXPERT DEMONSTRATION
LET'S GO SEE WHO'S HERE
TO TRAIN THEIR DOG.

Katrina sits on a bench with Alyssa and her dog.

Alyssa is in her early teens, with long straight brown hair in a ponytail and wears denim shorts and a yellow polo-shirt.

Katrina says I'M HERE TODAY WITH ALYSSA
AND HER BEAUTIFUL DOG KHALEESI.
TELL ME A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT KHALEESI.

Alyssa says KHALEESI IS A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
AND SHE LOVES TO PLAY
WITH OTHER DOGS.

Katrina says AHH SO SHE'S GOT A
BEAUTIFUL TEMPERAMENT.

Alyssa says YEAH.

Katrina says IF YOU WERE GOING TO DESCRIBE
HER PERSONALITY IN THREE WORDS
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

Alyssa says SHE'S NICE, LOVING AND PLAYFUL.

Katrina says OH SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
HAS SHE GOT ANY NAUGHTY HABITS?

Alyssa says WHEN SHE WAS A PUPPY
SHE CHEWED UP STUFF
AND SHE CHEWED UP A REMOTE.

Katrina says OH SEE I HAVE A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
AND THEY LOVE TO CHEW.
DO YOU DO ANY TRAINING WITH HER?

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says WHAT KIND OF TRAINING DO YOU DO?

Alyssa says WE DO SIT, DOWN, SHAKE HANDS
AND SOMETIMES SHE ROLLS OVER.

FANTASTIC.
AND DO YOU FIND YOU GUYS GET A
LOT OF HAIR AROUND THE HOUSE?
BECAUSE MY DOG SHEDS
SO MUCH HAIR.

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says DOES IT DRIVE
YOUR PARENTS CRAZY?

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says YES AND IN THE CAR AS WELL?

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says YES.
I KNOW.
I HAVE A VERY GOOD
VACUUM FOR THAT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO SOME
TRICK TRAINING WITH HER?

Alyssa says YES PLEASE.

Katrina says OKAY LET'S GO.
TODAY ALYSSA AND I ARE GOING
TO TEACH KHALEESI HOW TO STAY.
NOW THE FIRST STEP WITH THIS
IS JUST TO ASK HER TO SIT
AND STAY
FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,
THEN WE'LL GIVE HER A TREAT.
OKAY LET'S CALL HER IN.

Alyssa says KHALEESI COME ON.

Katrina says GOOD GIRL.
NOW ASK HER TO SIT.

Alyssa says SIT.

Katrina says GOOD GIRL AND THEN
WE JUST SAY STAY
AND BECAUSE SHE STAYED
SHE GETS THE TREAT.
OKAY.
AND THEN GRADUALLY WE WILL
MOVE BACK FURTHER AND FURTHER.
SO STAY.
TREAT.
GOOD GIRL.
THERE YOU GO.
SAY STAY.
GET HER ATTENTION.
SAY STAY.

Alyssa says STAY.

Katrina says GOOD GIRL.
SHE GETS THE TREAT.
THAT IS PERFECT.
THAT'S STEP ONE.
WE'RE GOING TO PRACTISE THIS.
WE WILL BE BACK WITH STEP TWO,
WHICH IS ASKING HER TO STAY
WHEN SHE LIES DOWN.

Back in the studio, Alfie says OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DOG.
WE WILL CHECK BACK IN
WITH ALYSSA AND KHALEESI
A BIT LATER ON
TO SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING WITH
DR. KATRINA'S TRAINING.
BUT FIRST YES IT'S TIME
FOR A BRAIN TICKLING,
HEAD SPINNING,
SUPER COOL ANIMAL FACT.

A caption reads "Did you know?"

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THAT THE LIMPET HAS AN
INCREDIBLY STRONG FOOT?
THE LIMPET IS AN AQUATIC SNAIL
WHO HAS A FLATTENED SHELL
AND MUSCULAR FOOT
THAT'S SO STRONG IT CAN
CLING TO PLACES
WHERE OTHER SNAILS WOULD
SURELY GET SWEPT AWAY.
IN THE STREAMS OF NEW ZEALAND
IF A PREDATOR GETS TOO CLOSE
THE LIMPET WILL RELEASE A
BLOB OF GLOWING GREEN GOO.
THE HUNGRY FISH ARE LURED AWAY.
MAKING THE STRONG FOOTED
MOLLUSK SAFE ONCE MORE.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say "An animal fact."

Alfie says AND NOW MY CREATURE FRIENDS
IT'S TIME TO MEET A FEW OTHER
PALS OF MINE.
THEY'RE BLABBY
AND THEY'RE GABBY,
THEY'RE LOQUACIOUS
AND THEY'RE MOUTHY.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE
TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S THE DUO THAT
NEVER STOP TALKING.
IT'S THE TWO BOBS.

Kids say TWO BOBS!

Mantis Bob 1 says OMM.
LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND
FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE.

Mantis Bob 2 says CAN YOU SEE
YOUR HAPPY PLACE BOB?

Mantis Bob 1 says WHEN YOU ARE
IN YOUR HAPPY PLACE...

Mantis Bob 2 says DO YOU NEED
SOME HELP LOOKING BOB?
TURN AROUND SO I CAN
TAKE A PEEK.

Mantis Bob 1 says INHALE
YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

Mantis Bob 2 says DON'T INHALE
TOO MUCH BOB
YOU MIGHT JUST CHOKE ON A
FLY OR SOMETHING.

Mantis Bob 1 says BE THE KING OF
YOUR OWN CALM HAPPY PLACE.

Mantis Bob 2 says ALL HAIL
BOB KING OF CALM.

Mantis Bob 1 hits Mantis Bob 2.

Mantis Bob 2 says OW, BOB!

Mantis Bob 1 says GET YOUR FACE
OUT OF MY HAPPY PLACE.

Alfie says CHATTY AND BATTY
TWO BOBS CREATURES.
THEY'RE HILARIOUS.
MORE FROM THEM
LATER ON IN THE SHOW.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
TO NOURISH YOUR BRAIN
AND TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
THROW ON YOUR THINKING CAP,
IT'S TIME FOR A CREATURE QUIZ.

A caption reads "Creature quiz."

The narrator says WHICH OF THESE
ANIMALS ATTACK PREY AS A PACK?
IS IT A THE FRENZIED FEISTY
PIRANHAS?
YUCK, SAVE SOME FOR ME.
B THE SUN-LOVING BUT
SCARY LOOKING MARINE IGUANA?

In animation, an Iguana says HMM TIME FOR A SWIM.
OOHHH DEAD MOSS.

The narrator says OR C THE
CUNNING CROCODILE?
IF YOU ANSWERED A THE PIRANHA
IS OUR PREDATOR
YOU'RE CORRECT.
A SCHOOL OF THESE CHOMPING FISH
COULD STRIP THE FLESH OFF A COW
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
FOUND ONLY IN THE RIVERS
OF SOUTH AMERICA
PIRANHA ARE MUCH FEARED
BECAUSE OF THEIR FEROCITY.
SWIMMING IN LARGE SCHOOLS
WITH RAZOR SHARP TEETH
AND POWERFUL JAWS THEY ATTACK
ON MASS
AS ONE BIG EATING MACHINE.
THE BITE OF THE PIRANHA
IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
IN THE FISH FAMILY
SO WHEN THEY GATHER FOR
A MEAL IT'S NOT PRETTY.
BUT ARE PIRANHA REALLY
AS HORRIFIC
AS THEIR REPUTATION SUGGESTS?
SURELY ANY ANIMAL THAT
ENTERED THE WATER
WOULD BE INSTANTLY ATTACKED?
THE OTTER FOR
EXAMPLE IS PERFECTLY SAFE.
WHEN IT COMES TO DEAD FISH
IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.
CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION
PIRANHA ARE SCAVENGERS
WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE HAPPIER
EATING A DEAD FISH
THAN A LIVE OTTER.
RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND THAT
PIRANHA'S ARE MOSTLY HARMLESS
PREFERRING TO FEED ON THE
TAIL FINS OR SCALES OF FISH
RATHER THAN DEVOURING
THE CRITTERS WHOLE.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT GUYS, STILL
TO COME ON TODAY'S SHOW.
WE HAVE MORE CANINE
CRAZINESS IN DOG TRICKS,
LOADS OF LAUGHS
WITH BAD PUN PONY,
A TRUCKLOAD OF ANIMAL
AMAZINGNESS IN CREATURE QUIZ,
SOME ASTONISHING ANIMAL FACTS
AND WE MEET OUT
PET AND TELL GUEST
AND HEAR SOME HILARITY
FROM THE TWO BOBS.
ALL THAT, STILL TO COME
ON CREATURE MANIA.

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
ORANGUTANS ARE SUPER SMART?
THEY'RE EVEN ABLE TO
MAKE SIMPLE TOOLS.
GOOD WORK BUDDY.
THEY'VE BEEN OBSERVED USING
BRANCHES AS TOOLS
FOR INSECT FORAGING,
HONEY COLLECTION
OR TO FISH FOR BRANCHES OR FRUIT
THAT ARE OUT OF REACH.
THEY ALSO USE LEAFY BRANCHES
TO SHELTER THEMSELVES
FROM RAIN AND SUN
AND SOMETIMES EVEN DRAPE
LARGE LEAVES OVER THEMSELVES
LIKE A PONCHO.
CLEVER.
AND THAT'S...

A caption reads "An animal fact."

Alfie says OH I LOVE ORANGUTANS.
THEY'RE JUST SO INDIVIDUAL.
ALL THAT AMAZING RED HAIR
AND LONG LIMBS.
JUST SWINGING AWAY IN THE TREES.
WHAT FANTASTIC ANIMALS.
ANOTHER PRETTY FANTASTIC ANIMAL
IS THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER
AND LUCKILY WE HAVE ONE
ON TODAY'S SHOW.
LET'S FIND OUT HOW ALYSSA
AND KHALEESI ARE DOING
WITH THEIR TRAINING.
IT'S PART TWO OF DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says I'M HERE WITH ALYSSA
AND KHALEESI
AND WE ARE TEACHING KHALEESI
HOW TO STAY.
NOW SHE'S BEEN PRETTY GOOD
FROM SIT POSITION HASN'T SHE?

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says SHE'S HAPPILY STAYING THERE.
NOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS
ASK HER TO LIE DOWN AND STAY.
SO AGAIN JUST FOR A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
SO WILL YOU DROP FOR US?
GOOD GIRL.
STAY.
SO IT'S THE SAME THING.
IF SHE STAYS FOR A LITTLE PERIOD
OF TIME SHE GETS THE TREAT.
THERE WE GO.
JUST ASK HER TO STAY.

Alyssa says STAY.

Katrina says GOOD GIRL.
SHE SEEMS PRETTY
CONTENT TO STAY.
I THINK SHE'S QUITE COMFY
LYING DOWN.
IT IS A NICE POSITION
FOR A DOG TO BE IN.
STAY.
GOOD GIRL.
WE'RE GOING TO PRACTICE THAT
AND THEN THE NEXT STEP
IS ASKING HER TO STAY
WHEN WE MOVE BACK A
FURTHER DISTANCE.
SHE'S DOING WELL HUH?
THAT'S STEP TWO.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH
STEP THREE SOON.

Alfie says MORE OF THAT LATER.
AND NOW MY FRIENDS TIME
FOR SOME CRACKING UP,
SOME CHUCKLES, SOME CHORTLES
AND A BIT OF TEE HEE HEE
WITH OUR FAVOURITE
FUNNY HORSE.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE,
THE ONLY BAD PUN PONY.

(music plays)

A caption reads "It's Bad Pun Pony."

A clip shows a brown pony galloping and neighing on a field.

Bad Pun Pony says WHY DO
FLAMINGOS ONLY STAND ON ONE LEG?
WELL IF THEY LIFTED THE
OTHER LEG THEY'D FALL OVER.
WHAT DO YOU GET
WHEN YOU CROSS A FISH AND A CAT?
GIVE UP?
A PURR-ANA.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says SHE IS HILARIOUS
AND THERE WILL BE MORE
PONY PUNS ON THE NEXT SHOW.
BUT NOW TIME FOR SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
LET'S STRETCH OUR BRAIN CELLS,
LET'S LEARN SOME STUFF AND
LET'S SEE SOME COOL ANIMALS.
SHALL WE?
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
IS CAUSING MASSIVE DAMAGE TO
AUSTRALIA'S GREAT BARRIER REEF?
IS IT A ONE OF THE LARGEST
STARFISH IN THE WORLD
KNOWN AS THE CROWN OF THORNS?
OR IS IT B THE MOTHER OF
ALL CLAMS THE GIANT CLAM?
EWE.
OR C THE BEAUTIFUL BUT
HIGHLY VENOMOUS...
LIONFISH?
IF YOU SAID A
THE CROWN OF THORNS
YOU'D BE CORRECT.
THE CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH
IS ONE OF THE MAIN THREATS
TO THE FUTURE OF THE
GREAT BARRIER REEF.
FOSSIL EVIDENCE SUGGESTS
CROWN OF THORNS HAVE BEEN
AROUND FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS
BUT DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
OUTBREAKS HAVE INCREASED RAPIDLY
IN THE LAST FIFTY OR SO YEARS.
WHILE MOST STARFISH
GENERALLY HAVE FIVE ARMS,
THE CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH
CAN HAVE BETWEEN THIRTEEN
TO TWENTY-ONE ARMS,
ALL COVERED WITH
VENOMOUS THORNS.
THE CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH
IS THE SECOND LARGEST STARFISH
IN THE WORLD,
AND CAN EAT UP TO SIX SQUARE
METRES OF CORAL PER YEAR.

A Crowd says OH NO.

The narrator says LARGE FEMALE
CROWN OF THORNS
CAN PRODUCE UP TO SIXTY-FIVE
MILLION EGGS PER SEASON.
WHICH MEANS IT'S HARD
TO CONTAIN THE SPREAD
BUT EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY
TO HELP THE REEF FIGHT
THIS PESKY PEST
AND RETURN THE REEF TO
ITS NATURAL BALANCE.
LET'S HOPE THEY SUCCEED.
BECAUSE THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
IS ONE OF THE MOST BIOLOGICALLY
DIVERSE PLACES IN THE WORLD.

Alfie says WHAT AMAZING CREATURES.
SO COOL.
ALL RIGHT CREATURE FANS,
STILL TO COME ON
TODAY'S SHOW,
AN AMAZING ANIMAL FACT,
WE MEET TODAY'S PET
AND TELL GUEST
IN THE HOUSE,
THERE'S AN ADORABLE
ANIMAL IN TOO CUTE,
PLUS SOME MUSINGS FROM OUR
FAVOURITE BLACK AND WHITE BEAR
THE FANTASTIC PONDERING PANDA.
ALL THAT, STILL TO COME
ON CREATURE MANIA.

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW...

The picture of a spider appears.

The narrator says AH, OH SORRY...
THE NURSERY WEB SPIDER
IS A HUNTING SPIDER?
IT WILL PREY ON SMALL
CRAWLING INSECTS
SUCH AS BEETLES AND CRICKETS.
HOWEVER IT DOES NOT BUILD
A WEB TO CATCH ITS PREY.
INSTEAD NURSERY WEB SPIDERS
ARE NAMED FOR THEIR HABIT
OF DEPOSITING THEIR EGGS
ONTO A LEAF
AND THEN SPINNING A PROTECTIVE
SILK NURSERY WEB AROUND IT.
THE MOTHER THEN OPENS
THE EGG SAC SLIGHTLY,
AND STANDS GUARD UNTIL
THE SPIDERLINGS EMERGE.
AND THAT'S...

Children say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says TIME NOW MY CREATURE CRAZIES
TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT.
IT'S THE PART OF THE SHOW
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO.
YOU GUESSED IT,
IT'S PET AND TELL.
BUT JUST BEFORE WE MEET THEM
THERE'S THIS.

A clip shows a dog lying on the grass moving its tail as a cat tries to catch it.

The caption changes to "It's pet and tell."

Alfie says INTRODUCING LEVI.
HE'S BROUGHT IN HIS
AWESOME PET TO SHOW US.
HELLO LEVI.

Levi is around 10, with short brown hair and wears pink shorts and a red polo-shirt.

Levi says HELLO ALFIE.

Alfie says WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

Levi says THANK YOU.

Alfie says SO AHH WHO IS THIS?

Levi says UMM HER NAME IS KITTY SOFT PAWS.

Alfie says KITTY SOFT PAWS.
SO WHY DID YOU CALL
HER KITTY SOFT PAWS?

Levi says WELL SHE HAS SOFT PAWS
AND WE SAW A NAME FROM
PUSS IN BOOTS.

Alfie says OH REALLY?
AHH AND WHAT KIND OF A
CAT IS KITTY SOFT PAWS?

Levi says SHE'S A BLUE RUSSIAN
WITH REALLY SOFT FUR
AND SHE SHEDS A LOT.

Alfie says SHE SHEDS A LOT.
BLUE RUSSIAN CAT.
RUSSIAN BLUES ARE RENOWNED
FOR BEING ONE OF THE BEST
BREEDS OF CATS TO HAVE AS PETS.
RUSSIAN BLUES ARE
ORIGINALLY FROM RUSSIA.
THEY ARE CURIOUS
AND TRANQUIL
AND ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR
INTELLIGENCE AND FRIENDLINESS.
THEY CAN ALSO BE FIERCE
HUNTERS, OFTEN CATCHING BIRDS,
RODENTS, REPTILES,
RABBITS AND SMALL MAMMALS.
ON AVERAGE THEY LIVE TO BETWEEN
FIFTEEN AND TWENTY YEARS.
BLUE RUSSIAN CAT.
MEOW.
IS KITTY SOFT PAWS
HOUSE TRAINED?

Levi says WHEN SHE GOES TO THE TOILET SHE,
THERE'S A SENSOR
IN HER LITTER BOX
AND IT SCOOPS HER POO UP SO
IN A MONTH THAT'S WHEN
WE CLEAN IT UP.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP.

Alfie says WHAT?
YOU HAVE LIKE AN AUTOMATED
LIKE POO CLEANER?

Levi says YEP.

Alfie says AND SO YOU ONLY HAVE
TO DO IT ONCE A MONTH?

Levi says YEP.

Alfie says THAT'S AMAZING.
SO RUSSIAN BLUE CATS
COME FROM A COLD CLIMATE RIGHT?
HOW DOES KITTY SOFT PAWS
DEAL WITH THE SUMMER HERE
IN AUSTRALIA?

Levi says WELL SHE DOESN'T
NEED ICE
BECAUSE WE HAVE
AN AIR CONDITIONING
AND SHE DOESN'T,
THAT'S ALL SHE NEEDS.

Alfie says SO YOU KEEP HER COOL
WITH THE AIR CON?

Levi says YEP.
SO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY
TO GET RID OF THE POOP
AND TECHNOLOGY
TO KEEP HER COOL.

Levi says YEP.

Alfie says SO SHE'S A TECHNO CAT.

He beat boxes and says I'LL STOP.
WHAT'S KITTY SOFT PAWS
LIKE WITH OTHER PEOPLE?

Levi says SHE LIKES TO CIRCLE
AROUND PEOPLE
BUT SOMETIMES SHE LIKES
TO CIRCLE ROUND MY LEGS
AND THEN HEAD BUMP MY FOOT.
IT IS LIKE SHE IS SAYING THAT
I'M PART OF THE CAT FAMILY.

Alfie says SO KIND OF LIKE A FIST PUMP?
BUT A HEAD BUMP.

Levi says YEP.

Alfie says OH NICE.
DOES SHE HEAD BUTT ANYONE ELSE?

Levi says NO, ONLY ME.

Alfie says OH RIGHT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE
PART OF THE FAMILY.
WELL THANKS SO MUCH FOR
COMING IN TODAY LEVI.

Levi says THANK YOU ALFIE.

Alfie says AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING US
TO YOUR AWESOME CAT
KITTY SOFT PAWS.

Levi says YOU'RE WELCOME.

Alfie chuckles and says SHE'S SUPER CUTE.
SPEAKING OF CUTE,
CHECK THIS OUT.

The narrator says THERE'S NOTHING
CUTER THAN A SQUIRREL RIGHT?
WRONG.
HAVE YOU MET THEIR SMALLEST
ASIAN COUSIN
THE SIBERIAN CHIPMUNK?

In animation, a Chipmunk says NI HAO MA?
WO SHI HAO.

The narrator says THEY SHOULD
BE CALLED CHIP MONKEYS
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS
MONKEYING AROUND.
HEY WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR CHIPPY?
WHO KNOWS, WHO CARES,
WHEN THEY'RE THAT ADORABLE.
THEY MAY BE RODENTS AND
THIS ONE SEEMS TO HAVE FLEAS.
BUT THEY'RE STILL...

Kids say TOO CUTE!

Alfie says AND THAT CREATURE MANIACS
WAS TOO CUTE.
WHAT A GREAT PART OF THE SHOW.
WE'LL HAVE MORE
OF THAT NEXT TIME.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
TO NOURISH YOUR BRAIN
AND TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
ARE YOU READY?
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH
OF THESE ANIMALS
CONSTRUCTS THEIR NESTS
FROM SEAWEED AND STICKS
STUCK TOGETHER WITH POOP?
IS IT A THE ADELIE PENGUIN?
IS IT B THE PIED SHAG?
OR IS IT C THE HUMMINGBIRD?
THE ANSWER IS B.
THE PIED SHAG BUILDS
A LARGE NEST
THAT IS CONSTRUCTED BY BOTH
ADULTS FROM SEAWEED AND STICKS
STUCK TOGETHER WITH POOP.
BEFORE YOU TURN UP YOUR NOSE
JUST LOOK AT THEIR
PRIME REAL ESTATE.
A MILLION-DOLLAR VIEW OVER
THE EAST COAST OF NEW ZEALAND.
THE PIED SHAG CAN ALSO
BE FOUND IN AUSTRALIA
BUT ARE KNOWN AS
PIED CORMORANTS THERE.
PIED CORMORANTS BREED
ALL YEAR ROUND
AND USUALLY PRODUCE EGGS
ONCE A YEAR.
LIKE ALL CORMORANTS THESE
PARENTS ARE EXCELLENT DIVERS
AND FISH IN GROUPS.
AFTER DRYING OUT THEIR WINGS
THEY FLY BACK TO
THEIR LUXURY HOMES.
THEIR CHICKS FEED BY THRUSTING
THEIR HEAD INTO THEIR PARENT'S
THROAT POUCH
AND TAKING OUT THE
CACHE OF FISH HELD THERE.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Beetle Bob 1 says HEY BOB.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?

Beetle Bob 2 says I HAVE NO IDEA BOB?

Beetle Bob 1 says COME ON.
I BET YOU WEIGHT A LOT.

Beetle Bob 2 says WELL THAT'S
NOT VERY POLITE BOB.

Beetle Bob 1 says I'LL SEE
IF I CAN PICK YOU UP.

Beetle Bob 2 says I'D PREFER
YOU DIDN'T BOB.

Beetle Bob 1 says OH COME ON BOB.
COME ON.
UP YOU GO BOB.

Beetle Bob 2 says PLEASE
DON'T PICK ME UP.
PUT ME DOWN.
COME ON BOBBY.

Beetle Bob 1 says OH BOB.
I'M GOING TO SAY OH ABOUT
EIGHT OR NINE GRAMS BOB.

Beetle Bob 2 says CAREFUL BOB.
CAREFUL.

Beetle Bob 2 falls and says OH.

Beetle Bob 1 says WHOOPSIE.

Beetle Bob 2 says EIGHT OR
NINE GRAMS YOU SAY.

Beetle Bob 1 says WELL BY THE SIZE OF THE
DIVOT IN THE DIRT YOU MADE BOB
I'D SAY AHH
TAKE WIND DIRECTION
INTO ACCOUNT,
ADD THE VECTORS AND THERE'S
GRAVITY ALWAYS THERE.
ALL RIGHT CARRY THE TWO,
KEEP THE DECIMAL POINT,
TAKE THE COSINE, COEFFICIENT.
YEAH YOU'RE REALLY FAT BOB.

Beetle Bob 2 says A GOOD THING?

Beetle Bob 1 says FOR A RHINO BEETLE YES.
IN FACT I THINK YOU COULD EAT
A BIT MORE BOB.

Beetle Bob 2 says EATING MORE NOW.

Alfie says OH, THOSE BOBS ARE BRILLIANT.
WELL, CREATURE MANIACS,
WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE STILL
TO COME ON THE SHOW.
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
INCREDIBLE ANIMAL FACT,
SOME FASCINATING PONDERING
FROM OUR ROLY POLY PAL,
THE ONE, THE ONLY
PONDERING PANDA.
AND TODAY'S FINAL VISIT
FROM DR. KATRINA
FOR STEP THREE IN DOG TRICKS.
SO, ALL THAT STILL TO COME
RIGHT HERE ON CREATURE MANIA.

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THAT THE JAPANESE MACAQUE IS
ALSO KNOWN AS THE SNOW MONKEY?
WITH A NAME LIKE THAT
YOU'D THINK THEY'D BE ABLE
TO HANDLE THE COLD.
AND YOU'D BE RIGHT.
THEIR WARM LAYER OF FUR
CAN STAND TEMPERATURES
AS CHILLY AS MINUS
TWENTY DEGREES CELSIUS.
THESE MONKEYS ARE
GREAT AT SWIMMING.
SOME HAVE EVEN BEEN KNOWN TO
SWIM AS FAR AS HALF A KILOMETRE.
CLEANLINESS IS IMPORTANT
TO THE SNOW MONKEY.
IT'S EVEN BEEN REPORTED
THAT THEY'LL WASH SNACKS
BEFORE EATING.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says WHAT A GREAT FACT.
ALL RIGHT CREATURE MANIACS TIME
TO GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL
WITH A BEAR WHO LIKES
TO REFLECT,
AND MUSE ABOUT
OBSCURE, WONDERFUL
AND SOMETIMES ODD THINGS.
YES IT'S OUR
FAVOURITE BAMBOO-EATING,
ROLLIE POLY, PONDERING PANDA.

A caption reads "Pondering Panda."

A kid says THE PANDA
THAT LIKES TO PONDER.

A panda eats bamboo leaves and says WOAH.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
I JUST FOUND OUT?
THERE ARE THESE BIRDS
CALLED SWIFTS
THAT PRETTY MUCH SPEND
THEIR WHOLE LIVES FLYING.
I MEAN, THEY EAT
WHILE THEY'RE FLYING,
THEY POO WHILE THEY'RE FLYING,
THEY EVEN GO TO SLEEP
WHILE THEY'RE FLYING.
IT'S TRUE.
SO, LIKE, IF SWIFTS
ARE FLYING ALL THE TIME,
WHY DO THEY HAVE LEGS?
WHY NOT HAVE ANOTHER
PAIR OF WINGS INSTEAD?
THEN SWIFTS COULD, LIKE, USE
THEIR BACK UP WINGS
WHEN THE OTHER ONES GOT TIRED.
FOUR WINGS.
I'M A GENIUS.

Alfie saysAND THAT CREATURE MANIACS
WAS PONDERING PANDA.
I ACTUALLY DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
LET'S MOVE ON.
IT'S TIME FOR OUR
LAST VISIT TO DR. KATRINA.
LET'S SEE IF ALYSSA
AND KHALEESI
CAN MASTER STEP THREE OF STAY.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
I'M HERE WITH
ALYSSA AND KHALEESI,
WE'RE TEACHING KHALEESI TO STAY.
AHH SO FAR WE'VE ASKED HER
TO STAY
FOR JUST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME
FROM BOTH A SIT AND
FROM A DOWN POSITION.
AND NOW THE TEST IS TO ASK
HER TO STAY
AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK
A LITTLE BIT
AND THEN WE'LL MOVE BACK
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
OKAY SO YOU CAN DO THIS ONE.
JUST ASK HER TO STAY.

Alyssa says STAY.

Katrina says BACK A COUPLE MORE.
BECAUSE SHE'S STAYING,
IN YOU GO.
NOW IF YOUR DOG DOES
BREAK THE STAY
YOU JUST ASK THEM TO GO BACK
AGAIN AND START AGAIN
BUT JUST MOVE A CLOSER DISTANCE.
SO THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT.
YOU GRADUALLY BUILD UP THE TIME
AND YOU CAN BUILD THAT UP
TO A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME
SO YOU CAN ASK HER TO STAY
AT HOME
WHENEVER YOU NEED HER TO LIE
DOWN ON HER MAT OR BED.
HOW DO YOU THINK
SHE'S DONE TODAY?

Alyssa says I THINK SHE'S
DONE REALLY WELL.

Katrina says ARE YOU PROUD OF HER?

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says AND DO YOU THINK SHE IS GOING
TO WORK ON THE STAY AT HOME?
SHE'LL BE OKAY?

Alyssa says YES.

Katrina says YES I THINK SHE QUITE
LIKES LYING IN ONE PLACE.
I DON'T THINK SHE IS
GOING TO MOVE ACTUALLY.
DO YOU?

Alyssa says NO.

Katrina says WELL YOU'VE DONE WELL.
KHALEESI'S DONE WELL.
I HOPE YOU HAVE
ENJOYED OUR DOG TRICK TODAY.
WE'LL BE BACK
NEXT TIME WITH MORE.

Alfie says THANKS KATRINA.
WHAT A GREAT JOB ALYSSA AND
THE GORGEOUS KHALEESI DID.
AND THAT CREATURE MANIACS IS
ALL WE HAVE TIME FOR TODAY.
I LOVED WATCHING KHALEESI
DO SOME TRAINING
AND MEETING LEVI AND
HIS AWESOME CAT TOO.
WE SAW SOME PRETTY INCREDIBLE
ANIMALS ON TODAY'S SHOW:
THE FEROCIOUS PIRANHAS WAS ONE
OF MY FAVOURITES.
IF YOU NEED SOME MORE
ANIMAL MADNESS
THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE TO COME.
AND REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE
AWESOME AND PETS ARE PALS.
I'M ALFIE.
JOIN ME NEXT TIME
ON CREATURE MANIA.
